Why is equine dentistry important? Just like in humans, a horse’s teeth are essential for their overall health and well-being. Proper dental care can alleviate pain, improve feeding efficiency, and prevent behavior issues linked to discomfort. It is important to catch dental problems early; expediting the treatment and improving your horse’s quality of life. Horse’s oral health should be evaluated yearly starting at 6 months of age; and don’t forget about Ol’ Mr. Ed in the field, geriatric horses need dental care too!
Pictured below is one of our veterinarians who loves equine dentistry! Dr. Britt is a go-to for floats at our clinic.

This training includes an extended externship at a dental specialty clinic in Wisconsin, as well as continued education courses on advanced equine oral techniques and extractions.
